I am worried my son might be gay. I want to get him checked. Isn't is possible to get a hormone check? A vocal cord check? Can't a doctor indicate if he is gay or not? My son has almost no muscles and narrow shoulders. He also has blue eyes. He talks in a very high voice and while he sings he sounds like a castrato. He tells me his voice is called tenor.

The wave of the future ! Just wait until someone comes up with the 'gay gene', parents all over the conservative world will be testing fetuses to in sure that such a gene is not present in their little one and who knows what they might do if they suspect it is...

I find it truly sad that a parent would ask such a question and that a child is living through this nightmare.

You know that this parent being the jerk that he is has subjected his son to bias. None of this funny find it disheartening. Chancess are the kid may not even be gay. He could just be a kid on the brink of puberty and just has not hit his stride.

Some people should not be parents because they really know how to screw up a kid.

xrichx saidI hope you guys aren't taking this too seriously. I'd say a majority of those Yahoo questions are fabricated for the sake of humor.

Whether or not the question was posed seriously is irrelevant. Most people are commenting on the smartass answer to the question.

Additionally, although the author of the question may not have been serious, I've no doubt there are people in this world who feel some of the "conditions" described by said author could indeed provide evidence of someone's homosexuality and would pose similar questions.

The humor is derived from the fact that we've all experienced peoples' blatant ignorance on the subject of homosexuality, and we can therefore relate.

But it chills to me to think that the question might have been serious. Any kid deserves to know he has his parents' support and unconditional love. I know people - including many on this site - endured rejection from their families because of their orientation. So I guess it's survivable. It just shouldn't have to be.

If the author wasn't serious, then I guess those people are exactly whom he was satirizing.
